Oooh, dunno about that. When I move house I’m definitely getting a 4K TV for my games room, and possibly also a new monitor for my PC, and I need new AV gear for my living room (unclear if that’s supposed to count.)

Surely it's just games and the consoles/pcs to run them on.

I feel like a 4K TV in a games room that will only have a console attached definitely counts.

I agree. If it were a general-purpose living room TV if would be a different story.

Unless he destroys the digital tuner rendering it unable to receive broadcasts he cannot include.

That's my final judgement.

I added some 'furniture' a few pages back but felt it was a legit inclusion. It's any expense that wouldn't have happened if not for the games aspect of things.

Don't forget to subtract your salary from the total and offset that against any savings you have that may or may not be used for games.

Riles could do us a spreadsheet.

Fair enough, I thought for a minute you'd bought a branded internal drive, which would've been bonkers. Isn't that one pretty over-priced though, based purely on the spec comparison at the bottom of the Amazon page? I'd have thought that when dealing with video files--which are generally chunky--that paying more for a drive with such a properly awful transfer rate is a pretty bad idea.

ETA: actually, belay that, it seems the Amazon page is just massively under-reporting the transfer rate of the SoT drive there.
